Giving Us "The Blues"??
One of the favorite stories in my "administrivia" collection, is the one about Ol' Blue. A young man went back "down South" to visit his Grampa. As he drove through the gate to the farm, he passed Ol Blue, a large hound dog, that was howling in pain. When he reached the house, he found his grandfather on the porch. After greetings, he asked if they should get a gun and put the dog out of his misery.
The grandfather said, "ain't nuthin' wrong with Blue; he's just layin' on a thorn, and too damn lazy to get up"!
Maybe we should give that dog's name to this Congress -- all 535 members! The "thorn" is actually a hand-full of "wack-jobs" influenced by extreme-Right "Stink-Tanks". Congress shifts pain onto us, as they remain paralyzed by fear. To free Congress from their fear-driven paralysis, the voting public will have to perform the function of "the gun".
These "wack-jobs" are threatening to "shut down" the government this Fall. In fact, they have paralyzed the first session of the 113th Congress. That act alone cripples the government by hamstringing one its three branches, in the midst of an historical struggle to repair a severely damaged economy. The damage, both at home and abroad is considerable.
Stay Vigilant! Should the GOP change its symbol from the Elephant to a Blue Hound Dog?
